Phillies Phanatics
I love Philadelphia, especially when one of my couples wants to do something fun. Ya know, like taking some time to get photos in the Phillies stadium. That’s just what I did with Lizzie and Bill for their engagement photos. We also took a little time to get some photos in downtown Philly before having some lunch and heading back. It was a great time and they were up for any fun tricks I could think up. It helps that I’ve known Lizzie for probably 10 years, and Bill for probably around 5-6 years.
We were lucky enough to have a beautiful day when we went down to the Phillies stadium. The sun was shining, and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. I pulled out the ring flash for some really cool photos and did everything but keeping it simple while we were in the ballpark. They even had shirts made to look like jerseys with Mr. and Mrs. on the back. If you look close you may even see their wedding date. We only had an hour in the stadium, so I had to work fast. Luckily, I had Jana, one of my students from our York Gobo workshop help me out. I really couldn’t have done it without her. We then moved to the dugout and ended up taking a few pics in the stands.
After the ballpark, we headed to center city Philly and South St. to walk down to Penn’s Landing. Here’s where I kept it simple, no lights, just fun and relaxed portraits. We walked around some streets and then then crossed the bridge down to the Delaware River waterfront. We made our way back and decided to stop for some lunch at Downey’s on South St. An Irish pub that’s been a Philadelphia staple for a long time. It was a special session and not something I’ll forget anytime soon.

Great work Mike!
I love the shot against the rich blue seats — awesome contrast and lines.
Mike, Gorgeous photos of Lizzie and Bill! I, too, have known Lizzy for that long and know of her fun spirit. Bill & Lizzie are blessed to have found each other – right smack under our Clipper/Spencer roof! I love the shot through the restaurant window. Great lines. Keep up the fantastic work. Sandy
I love the “feel” that you “get” in your picturs….and always look for your famous shots of wedding rings….this is a good one….
[...] On a cold December day in Lancaster, at Riverdale Manor, Lizzie and Bill created a simply beautiful winter wedding. The details were amazing, the bride was beautiful, and everyone had a wonderful time. I’ve known the couple for years working with both of them at Clipper Magazine and it was a pleasure to photograph their wedding. You may remember their engagement photos from the ballpark in Philly.
